What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter weather advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Charleston, WV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter weather advisory went out at Mar 19, 3:08 PM EDT, 31 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 19, 3:08 PM EDT, 31 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston WV
308 PM EDT Mon Mar 19 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure system will bring unsettled weather to the region
into Thursday. High pressure takes control late week with
another low pressure system next weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 213 PM Monday...

An area of low pressure, currently over the mid-Mississippi
Valley, will move into the region on Tuesday. Associated clouds
and precipitation will spread east early tonight and then
continue across the region through much of Tuesday.

With little in the way of clouds today, temperatures have warmed
a few degrees above what was expected. These warmer than
expected readings may play a role in what form the precipitation
falls across the highest elevations tonight into Tuesday.

Dewpoint temperatures are still quite low and not sure if the
latest models have a handle on the evaporative cooling that
should take place as the precipitation pushes into the area.
Have leaned toward the cool side of guidance tonight. However,
have increased the readings by a degree or so to reflect the
warmer afternoon temperatures.

Even with the lowest portion of the atmosphere cooling to
freezing or below, models suggest temperatures just above the
surface will remain above freezing through the period.

This results in the precipitation becoming a wintry mix across
the highest elevations of our northern West Virginia mountain
counties after midnight tonight and then continuing into
Tuesday. Could see a tenth or so of freezing rain with some
sleet and snow as well.

After consultation with our neighbors, have issued a Winter
Weather Advisory mainly for ice for tonight into Tuesday.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 345 AM Monday...

As a surface low passes by to our south, a portion of it breaks
off and gets picked up by an upper level low across the middle
Ohio River Valley Tuesday into Wednesday. Not a lot of
confidence in just how this will evolve -- such as where any
heavier bands of snow may set up.

For the day on Tuesday, have mostly rain, with a brief wintry
mix across the northern mountains early on. Cold air then surges
in Tuesday night, changing precipitation over to snow for
everyone by Wednesday morning. This Tuesday night time period
has a decent bust potential on snow amounts due to temperatures.
Specifically, just how quickly will temperatures fall after a
warm day on Tuesday, and how soon will snow be able to start
accumulating. The NAM shows very robust frontogenesis on the NW
side of the surface low -- which should drive a mesoscale band
of precip across the Tri-state and coal fields Tuesday night.
Think temperatures will be too warm for significant
accumulations with this, but intensity could partially overcome
that. Other area of concern is SE Ohio...where the changeover
to snow will happen first. Models showing very wide range of
accumulations here, with a low end near 2 inches and high end
over 6 inches. Went with amounts of 2-4 inches for now, with the
hope that details will resolve better with future models runs
and totals can be trended toward higher confidence solutions.
Will go with a broad HWO mention of snow Tuesday night into
Wednesday.

The surface low opens up and exits to the east Wednesday into
Thursday with northwest flow snow showers lingering. Could get
another decent area of snow across the southern mountains and
coal fields Wednesday night, but again models have some
variability, ranging from around 2 inches to over 4 inches. Did
not put a whole lot of faith in model based snow accumulations
during the daylight hours, as the late March sun angle and warm
ground has a tendency to greatly reduce accumulations during
the day.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 245 PM Monday...

High pressure briefly builds and passes through Friday for a dry
day, though continued NW flow aloft evens out any solar
insulation and continues to keep temperatures near normal.
Then, another system attached to a weak short wave affects the
area during the weekend.

Models diverge a bit on location/track for this weekend's system
in regards to local impacts. While models agree that over-
running style rain showers will fall in this region, the
boundary upon which warm/moist Gulf air over-runs may be closer
(more rain, possibility for snow upon onset with moisture
reaching further northward into cooler air) or further to the SW
(later arrival of rain and more showery in nature on the back-
end). Chose a middle-of-the-road solution with a slight
preference to the 12z ECMWF, thus we're somewhat warmer than a
general blend. The boundary may meander back up into the area at
the start of the work week with ridging/WAA, keeping shower
activity going at least in the southern zones

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 124 PM Monday...

VFR conditions with light surface winds through 00Z, although
areas of MVFR cigs will likely develop across the mountains
after 21Z.

Clouds should thicken and lower with MVFR conditions in
rainshowers will spread north after 00Z. By 08z, MVFR conditions
will prevail across much of the area with patchy IFR or even
LIFR conditions in the mountains as well as the southern
coalfields.

After 09Z, the precipitation will changeover to a wintry mix of
sleet and freezing rain across the higher elevations of the
northern West Virginia mountains.

After 12Z, conditions across the lowland counties to the west of
the mountains should improve as southeast downslope winds
prevail.

Gusty southeasterly winds will develop after 02Z particularly
across the higher terrain, with occasional gusts in the teens to
lower 20 kt range.
